Description

From "One gray mouse in a black mouse house" to "Ten red snails in a gray snail pail," learning to count has never been so much fun! A colourful cast of characters, cleverly shaped from Fimo, helps young children learn colours, animals and the numbers from one to ten. Kids will have fun following the adventurous mouse as he scampers from picture to picture, gathering objects from every page.show more

Review quote

Readers will be entranced from the minute they see one grey mouse greeting the day from its black teapot s doorstep on the cover. The mouse is snuggled into its teacup bed asleep on the first page, stretching awake on the title page, munching a carrot on the final page, increasingly endearing in its various ? compound incarnations. Equally captivating are the two black cats on an orange cat mat and the three orange snakes in a blue snake lake, up to ten and through several colours. Three book surprises and amuses with every page - the five pink pigs in yellow pig wigs are particularly winsome - drawing in young learners as well as those who already grasp counting and colours."show more
